This is from my one and only placement so far - a 25 second snippet on the MTV show "Catfish". Go figure, that 25 seconds nearly gave me back all the money I just spent on renewing a 2-year Taxi membership. SUH-WEEET!!! Cross your fingers that MTV keeps re-running that episode. Looks like it's played 19 times so far. Keep 'em coming!!

Big thanks to Michael and everyone at Taxi. I always wondered if I could really make it this far, and I now feel like my dreams are coming true. Slowly but surely, friends!

~~Matt
Congrats!! I have one 29 second cue on an episode of Catfish and the back end has been nice. MTV reruns their shows a lot and the pay rate is much better than many other cable channels.

Regarding your first royalty check, I hope you'll follow the long standing tradition: When a member gets their first royalty check, they buy dinner for all of us at the next Road Rally!!! :lol: :lol: (It can be Denny's... We're not THAT greedy!) ;)

Best

Congrats Matt!
The tune makes for a good underscore, I could hear it right away...
And to think how much better your writing and production skills are now!
You are a pro and it won't be long till the tunes pay off
